Review of April 1861 on Amazon...

I just finished reading April 1861. It is an excellent example of historical fiction through poetic verse. I was never a big fan of poetry, But this book reads like a short story.it is very much a dedication to the bloodshed in this most terrible period of American history. Mr. Allen writes about all the things that brought on the American Civil War,such as the secession of the Southern States, and the attack on Ft. Sumter including Historical figures like Robert E. Lee and Abraham Lincoln.So if you like Historical fiction and the human spirit you will love April 1861.

About Me

Over the past 5 years several of my works have been published in major market newspapers, periodicals, and anthologies. I have won a number of awards for my works. My collection of poems is growing steadily as I attempt to get my collection of short fiction ready for publication as a full volume work, hopefully by this autumn. Who knows, my poetry has taken on a life of it’s own, growing by leaps and bounds, and my plans to make a book of poetry my second release, may need to be adjusted forward accordingly.
